Well, so much for the "He didnt use conscripts" claim. His own defense minister just admitted that they did (I wonder how long he'll live now lol). But that was already known by the rest of the world anyway. It makes up about 70% of the invasion force. It also explains why the PoWs in a video I posted here a week ago looked like my 20yr old nephew, they did not look like veteran military guys to me at all (which are usually 28-35yo or older). They still havent admitted that they make up the majority yet, but that will become undeniable in the coming future as more of them end up as PoWs and corpses recovered by Ukrainians (those recovered by Russian military are incinerated on the spot). Now you know why Russian units are carrying around Mobile Incinerator units. It's an attempt to hide the truth, not of body count as previously claimed, but of body age. Pretty hard to gauge the age of something that has been incinerated. It's not impossible to gauge body count based on size of ash piles though.
Putin using conscripts is like you trying to rape someone's ogies with just peons. Its not going to end well. I still dont see the logic in having done that, but facts are facts, he did.
